OK GENTS...
Ya need to edumacate me on what this here thingy does and how it works.
Looks like something they would have used on the liars club cause no one would ever guess what it really was. I have only made a few leather items and that was years ago. Now , a wood worker I am and this piece looks interesting and rather simple to make.

WD ya use it to hold leather pieces while you stitch em together. Its really handy ...sorta a leather vice if ya will..

Ok ... kinda makes sence looking at it now. Is there a wing nut on the other end of the lever screw ?
I can see where that would come in real handy holding several layers together while stiching.
I have used wooden screw clamps for what little I have done. Same clamps I use for wood working.

There is a nut that digs into the wood on the other side. You can eithert spin that handle like a nut or use it as a lever to tighten up with..I use it more like a nut than the other way...

Works like a charm.

Thanks for the info.... If I get into doing more leather work I will have to make myself one of those

Hey DB! I figured out how to saddle the dang thing! I made a "seat" attachment out of plywood and attached it with the screws it extends out in front and you can use any chair to stitch, works great! try it out!
